Question: I’m an overseas trained emergency medicine specialist, can I work in Australia or New Zealand? How can I verify?

Not every country has specialised training in Emergency Medicine. In Australia and New Zealand, specialists must have completed a training program in EM in order to be considered for specialist assessment. As the main authorized body of Emergency Medicine across ANZ region, The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) have a fast track process for substantially comparable doctors (UK mainly), all doctors are required to sit for interview. They do not run concurrent assessment thus they need to submit 2 applications should the doctor wish to apply for an AON post and for specialist assessment.
